 * I’m seeing log messages like this after updating to WordPress 5.4:
 * PHP message: PHP Deprecated: contextual_help is **deprecated** since version 
   3.3.0! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab(), get_current_screen()->remove_help_tab()
   instead
 * A search of my codebase shows that this plugin is using contexual_help. Deactivating
   this plugin stops the messages.

 * Thanks. I’ve installed the update and reactivated the plugin and can confirm 
   that the messages are no longer appearing.
